Innate Immune Responses Associated with Resistance against Haemonchus contortus in Morada Nova Sheep by João Henrique Barbosa Toscano, Cintia Hiromi Okino, Isabella Barbosa dos Santos, Luciana Aparecida Giraldelo, Marei Borsch von Haehling, Sérgio Novita Esteves, Ana Carolina de Souza Chagas

“…The present study is aimed at evaluating mediators from the innate immune response in lambs of the Morada Nova Brazilian breed with contrasting H. contortus resistance phenotypes. Briefly, 287 lambs were characterized through fecal egg counts (FEC) and packed cell volume (PCV) after two independent experimental parasitic challenges with 4,000 H. contortus L3. 20 extreme resistance phenotypes (10 most resistant and 10 most susceptible) were selected, subjected to a third artificial infection with 4,000 L3, and euthanized 7 days later. …”

Sensibilisation à l’environnement d’un collège alsacien et d’une école malgache by David Di Paolo

“…Three annual visits to the zoo allow to children (1) to enhance their understanding of the fauna and flora, this aspect being completed by a personal bibliography produced by children; (2) to introduce notions on the phenotypic classification of primates by observing animals and the help of simple arrays of determining criteria ; (3) to improve their ecological awareness with tangible and common examples like the deforestation in Madagascar or the invasive species introduction, pupils are invited to think about these subjects and to suggest theoretical solutions ; (4) to observe the interspecific behavioral differences and the sexual hierarchy of lemurs using simple ethological observations ("all occurrences sampling" methods) of several species.…”

Aspergillus section Versicolores: nine new species and multilocus DNA sequence based phylogeny by Z. Jurjevic, S.W. Peterson, B.W. Horn

“…Aspergillus austroafricanus, A. creber, A. cvjetkovicii, A. fructus, A. jensenii, A. puulaauensis, A. subversicolor, A. tennesseensis and A. venenatus are described as new species and A. amoenus, A. protuberus, A. sydowii, A. tabacinus and A. versicolor are accepted as distinct species on the basis of molecular and phenotypic differences. PCR primer pairs used to detect A. versicolor in sick building syndrome studies have a positive reaction for all of the newly described species except A. subversicolor.…”
